Summary
A creative fan ofThe Legend of Zeldacrossed the iconic Nintendo franchise over with LEGO in their own way by creating a replica of the Master Sword out of spare bricks. The colors do not necessarily match, since it is made from multicolored LEGO bricks, but the design clearly resembles the iconic weapon fromThe Legend of Zelda.
The Master Sword has been a staple of theZeldafranchise for over 30 years, having first appeared in the top-down action-adventure gameThe Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Pastin 1991 and becoming a recurring weapon from that point on. Now, the iconic design is synonymous with the longstanding Nintendo franchise, appearing as a postgame weapon inBreath of the Wildand evencrossing over withThe Elder Scrollsin the Switch port ofSkyrim.
Fan-made replicas of the weapon are common as well, but the one made of spare LEGO pieces by Reddit user Tinenan stands out for its distinct multicolored look while still retaining the main elements that make it recognizable. The creator shared an image of the sword to the officialZeldasubreddit, which shows the seemingly life-sized replica sticking out from a base adorned withthe Triforce symbol from theLegend ofZeldaseries.
Fan’s LEGO Master Sword Impresses the Internet
Fans were quick to comment with praise for the build, stating how impressed they were that the builder managed to keep the Master Sword recognizable despite not adhering to its original color scheme by using a rainbow of LEGO bricks. Others made no mention of the colors at all, instead focusing on the design itself and making references toThe Legend of Zeldaand the many things the Master Sword has achievedthroughout the series.
Regarding whether they used a guide or blueprint for the build, the creator states that they simply built the entire thing from the base to the hilt with patience and a lot of LEGOs, but did not use any actual instructions. They did not provide any specifics about the sword’s size or how long it took to build, and it is seemingly attached to the base, so they cannot actually wield it like Link in theZeldagames.
Though this Master Sword was crafted out of LEGOs purely by hand with seemingly no instructions, fans looking to bring theZeldafranchise to life with the colorful bricks in an official capacity do not have long to wait.An officialZeldaLEGO set based on The Great Deku TreefromOcarina of Timeis set to release later this year, giving all fans a chance to build something from the series themselves.
